Dancing Baby Takes Universal To Court

1 Comment

Universal Scrooges Flushing Themselves Down a Litigation Toilet

I am using a screen name so they don't take down my home videos from YouTube next!

Clearly this is not even a matter of needle drops or synch rights, anyone seeing the video will be guided by common sense that it is fair use. It's a family video of babies at play and the Prince tune just happens to be picked up in the background - it is not even "mixed" in to the audio track, just ambient sound air-transferred by the in-camera microphone.

Universal deserves to have it's a** kicked big time for this kind of harassment. Perhaps their bad faith mis-interpretation of the ACT is retaliation against Prince himself for his recent innovative CD distribution deal via newspaper inserts - circumventing and adding another nail to the coffin of the dying big label music biz and no doubt pissing off Universal big time.
